Glacio Predator Echo Ability (Skill Details)
The Glacio Predator’s Echo Skill allows you to summon a Glacio Predator that throws an ice spear forward, dealing Glacio DMG in three distinct phases: on-hit, during the charging sequence, and upon explosion. This ability has a cooldown of 8 seconds, making it a quick and reusable source of elemental damage for Glacio-based Resonators.
The skill’s damage scales based on the Echo’s rank:
| Rank | On-Hit Damage | Charging Time Damage | Explosion Damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 28.80% | 2.88% ×10 | 14.40% |
| Rank 2 | 34.56% | 3.46% ×10 | 17.28% |
| Rank 3 | 40.32% | 4.03% ×10 | 20.16% |
| Rank 4 | 46.08% | 4.61% ×10 | 23.04% |
| Rank 5 | 51.84% | 5.18% ×10 | 25.92% |
This layered damage output allows the Glacio Predator to serve as an efficient, low-cost Echo for frequent Glacio elemental application and AoE burst potential, especially useful in triggering elemental reactions.
Glacio Predator Sonata Effects
The Glacio Predator Echo can possess one of two possible Sonata Effects: Celestial Light or Freezing Frost, each offering different elemental bonuses depending on the build composition.
Celestial Light enhances Spectro DMG, making it more suitable for Spectro-based Resonators:
2-Piece Set: Increases Spectro DMG by 10%.
5-Piece Set: Increases Spectro DMG by 30% for 15 seconds after using an Intro Skill.
Freezing Frost boosts Glacio DMG, making it the ideal choice for Glacio-focused teams and Resonators:
2-Piece Set: Increases Glacio DMG by 10%.
5-Piece Set: After using a Basic Attack or Heavy Attack, Glacio DMG is increased by 10%, stacking up to 3 times. Each stack lasts 15 seconds, allowing for sustained elemental damage boosts during combat.
To activate a Sonata Set bonus, players must equip multiple Echoes from the same set. However, using duplicate Echoes—such as multiple Glacio Predators—does not contribute to the Sonata Set count. To benefit from Freezing Frost effects, players should pair Glacio Predator with other Echoes that also carry the Freezing Frost Sonata resonance.
How to Get Glacio Predator
The Glacio Predator Echo can be obtained by defeating Glacio Predator enemies found throughout the open world. These enemies appear in various regions and are relatively easy to locate using the Guidebook, which allows players to track specific Echoes and their spawn areas. In addition to open-world exploration, players can also acquire the Glacio Predator Echo through Tacet Field Cleanups, which offer a chance to obtain Echoes based on enemy types encountered during the activity. This makes it accessible through both routine farming and structured combat challenges.
Suggested Characters to use Glacio Predator
As a 1-COST Echo, Glacio Predator is ideal for builds that require flexible cost management while still providing a reliable source of Glacio DMG and access to the Freezing Frost Sonata effect. Its Echo Skill deals multi-phase Glacio damage, making it especially effective when paired with Glacio-element characters who can benefit from consistent elemental application or additional damage scaling.
Characters who synergize well with Glacio Predator include:
Jinhsi – Can make use of the Glacio damage to amplify her elemental output when supported by efficient Echo cost distribution.
Lingyang – Benefits from the additional Glacio application for combo setups and resonance rotations.
Sanhua – A natural fit due to her Glacio alignment and basic/charged attacks that can trigger the Freezing Frost bonus effects effectively.
These characters can utilize Glacio Predator either for its active skill contribution or to help complete Sonata set bonuses while preserving Echo cost for higher-tier options.
